3 Star Eventing as the rider sees it!

[tycoonlodge]

Great Work Shane :) Way braver than I!

And YES it's REAL... a Fake horse head doesn't move it's ears in response to what's going on around it.

And if the horse was in pain or discomfort, I doubt his ears would be in a happy and attentive forward position, nor would he be so willing around the course and over jumps.

And not talking to the horse - maybe he's concentrating :) I'm a talker too so I understand comments, the occasional "Good Boy" would be nice... Maybe next time hey? LOL

[Aislingxoxxox]

also did you know that the jump is just an extension of one of the horses gates? they do it in the wild....theym must really really hate it

[Aislingxoxxox]

Why are you watching it if your against it? Trust me if a horse dose not want to be ridden it lets u know! Horses are amongst the best kept and cared for animals in the world by the owners, watch some natural horsemanship, steve Brady, Parelli or Stacy Westfall to understand the concept and bond between a rider and there horse and then come back and say they are not willing and that its torture!

[kangalhorse]

@Aislingxoxxox Parelli, Stacy and co IS animal torture pure, is it really so hard to recognize? It is just desperate to discuss with such uneducated riders. Go to Academia Liberti and educate yourself please. Then you will know more.

[Aislingxoxxox]

@kangalhorse I know who Academia Liberti is, I would have to say her training practices are build on the same as who I mentioned, and like any horse person I would stand and listen to what she has to say out of the interest of my horse. This is youtube, get over yourself before you start calling people uneducated.

[kangalhorse]

this is animal torture. poor horse, bit in mouth, joints destroyed from jumping,only fun for certain human who can not feel animal. sad :/

[xNateonx]

@kangalhorse Horses love it, they wouldn't go out there and do it otherwise, you don't know what the horse is thinking =/

[kangalhorse]

@xNateonx Aha, but you know it as I see... Sure horses love it???? You would also love it someone puts a bit in your mouth on the pure nerves on your mucous tissue and forces you to carry one parasite on your back??? One advice: open anatomy books and learn about horses before you start to give any statement which shows how little you know. Riders - what to expect from such small brains - blind even for animal they sit on and torture - bah

[xNateonx]

@kangalhorse Same to you, don't come out bleating this and that when you don't know that kinda thing, i rode horses, i studied horse care, i'm against animal cruelty but there are horses out there who have a genuine love to run and jump; it's in their nature to do these things. I suggest you learn something more instead of blindly following what you're led to believe by media and PETA groups

[kangalhorse]

@xNateonx It is just desperate to discuss with such uneducated riders. Go to Academia Liberti and educate yourself please. Then you will know more if you really care for horses.

[xNateonx]

@kangalhorse I know enough and have worked with injured, scared and mistreated horses, i have no interest in what you keep having a tantrum about, we have different views and i'm not the only person on here who believes you are over reacting and don't know what you're talking about

[planes100]

great video 

[planes100]

@planes100 its real you moron

[Australsporthorses]

cupcakes if you think riding a real horse around a 3* cross country would be tough, it would be easy compared to running around on foot with a camera on a pole 3 foot above your head while carrying a fake horses head out in front of you jumping over the jumps.

I assure you, like all my headcam video's this IS real!

[cupcakes8000]

pause it at 0:32 and that is not a real horses head

[jumanji321]

@cupcakes8000 How is it not a real horse head? You obviously have a strange hobby of trying to convince others that these videos are "fake" based on your other comments on videos.

[FenderTaylor122]

This is incredible!! It looks like a video game when shot from the rider's view. So cool!

[SanneChannel]

Is this in belgium?

[Australsporthorses]

@SanneChannel No, down under in Australia. This one is at Camperdown in Victoria's western districts.

[SanneChannel]

@Australsporthorses Okay thank you 

[wolfsrule100]

how the HECK do you jump that? and REMEMBER that?

[cupcakes8000]

does this look fake to you or am I blind?

[xhorseandjbloverx]

@cupcakes8000 Obviously it's not fake :') #NoHate <3

[MeAndMyGalloway]

3* in Australia is 1.20-1.25m

Speed - 570 metres per minute

[TheEvilTraceur99]

She didnt say anything to the horse and it was trying so hard!

[psychojoker131]

Gawd amazing stamina and power :D

[laureah21]

the one thing I have noticed with the helmet cam clips and three star in comparison to other levels, is not so much the height or technicality of the fences but the speed! SOOO much faster then other levels. Interesting

[HaZZaOriginal]

what height are those jumps?? and how high is you horse?? well done

[h0rseluv3r]

wow... advanced levvel 3*=advanced

[swNapoleon16]

hahaha this is soooooo cool!!!

[MissKayteeLouise1]

i have had a dog run after me on a course before ! luckily my horse didnt do anything but how unsafe it is ? ! fantastic willing horse man x

[gilliangirl1]

What did you say to those people at the end? I know what I would have said, and it wouldn't have been very polite!

[444malefic]

What helmet cam do you use? Mine is really hard to use and not very good quality when it does!!

[Australsporthorses]

@444malefic Hi these are all with the Contour HD,  GoPro are now making one that also does HD but it mounts on the front of the helmet.

[chloeluvzjonet]

the add in the upper left-hand corner annoyed me.

[horselover12121212]

Omg did your horse just like jump and land sideways at 0:40-0:49!!? 

[Traumpferd]

That was awesome!!!!

[TheHorseLady1212]

WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH

[RecklessSiren]

omg I love the end!!! haha, good thing those people didn't make a wrong step in the wrong direction.

[hermythewormy]

Wheee! Flawless round! You must have to do an insane amount of fitness work, I'm exhausted after a 5-6 minute course!

[orourkehel]

I'm currently sat in hospital after horse injury and unable to ride for 9 months so this cheered me up no end cracking round

[kaeso100]

What a talented 6 year old star! He is the equine eviquolent of a 13 year old human doing an honours degree. Well done all round!

[twireimoonshine7]

this was cool but its odd not hearing him talk to his horse much. i talk to my girl oudly while im jumping her because she listens to me better and doesnt get nervouse at all.

[SnowKitten53]

proves how fit your horse has to be. this guy makes it look wayyyy to easy:)

[rikeL1607]

that awesome , i got an helmetcam to my b-day too bacuse i wanted to film my xc-courses but before the first show i wanted to use it my horse went lame and now i don't have an eventer anymore =( but these are so nice clips because you see how much the horse enjoys it ,going forward always willing to jump =)

[matrixmare]

@rikeL1607 haha... I'll take your helmet cam!! lol

[rotansilversplash]

hahhaah those people at the end, where he practically ran through them! good on him! people are so unconsiderent these days, often when im warming up i have to pull the horse up ruining our rythy for a person just walking in front of me!, and i've had to yell out at people in my path on the xc course, trust me im not very nice when their in my way nowadays, cause im so annoyed

[Jacbriding]

this is great!

[SHOJMPR42]

Shane is very talented with great technique and his horses are very well prepared.

[radcracker7]

wooww he makes it looks so easy !
